Yes. I live in Maryland, and I use the cx88-dvb drivers to receive OTA.
(I don't pay for cable.) The cx88-dvb driver supports ATSC in addition
to DVB.

It is confusing, isn't it?

The same thing happens to me when I use cx88-atsc. DVB works better for
me (cx88-dvb).

This sounds remarkably like the three-day headache I just went through.
If you do not have digital cable, you must use the V4L drivers, not DVB
and not those explicitly labeled for the PCHDTV-3000 (because those are
just early versions of DVB). The DVB drivers are for digital inputs
only; if you've got analog cable (and I expect you do if /dev/video
devices work), you need to configure MythTV to use the V4L drivers.

[mythtv-users] pcHDTV HD-3000 2.0 Drivers

2005-06-09 Thread Blair Preston
I've recently been experimenting on a second box with upgrading my MythTV rig
(OTA HDTV - ATSC) to kernel 2.6.11 with pcHDTV 2.0 Drivers.  The bottom line
here is that the pcHDTV 2.0 driver apear to be working fine, though they use
/dev/video2 and /dev/video3 instead of the /dev/video32 and /dev/video33 that
they used to.  To test the HD-3000 functionality I simply used the commands

dtvsignal /dev/video2 17;to set the HD-3000 to ATSC HD Channel 17

  and then,

mplayer /dev/video2 ; to actually view the station the previous
command set

this works and I get a GREAT picture.

When I try to configure myth to these video inputs I get;

ERROR: no inputs found

anyone have any ideas?
